We already know that asp .net core works great with Microsoft technologies, but many times we need to work with other stuff.

Just think about the EF with SQL Server, the Identity or whatever things like these.
In my scenario, I needed to interface the website with a MySQL database. In this case I’ve been lucky, because I’ve found the a first implementation of a connector for MySQL (info here).

However my needs, I’ve wrote a new .net standard library based on MySQLConnector that use also ORM features in a very clearly way.

One of my libraries on GitHub is the DewRestClient, a simple library that can help you to make REST request in .net. The library is writte in .net standard so you will be able to use it in a .net core, xamarin, uwp, etc. project.
